I’m a little late to First Line Friday today. But hey, it’s still Friday at my house. 😉 A lot going on around my home and work, has kept me busy and off the blog. I can’t wait for things to settle down so that I can do all things books! Today Tonight I am featuring a new-to-me author, Caleb Breakey, and his novel The String. I received a copy in the mail this week courtesy of Library Thing Early Readers and Revell. It looks very intriguing. I actually had to include the first two lines — you’ll understand when you read them!
Welcome to the string, a game of impossible decisions and deadly consequences. Let’s go over the ground rules.
Rule #1: Participation is mandatory.
Rule #2: If anyone refuses to play, all threats will come to pass.
Game on.
Get ready for a deadly social experiment as a sociopath known as The Conductor delivers disturbing threats and twisted moral dilemmas to unsuspecting students and staff.
As a powerful instinct for self-preservation sweeps through the campus, one man has a grave decision to make. Will university cop Markus Haas play the game to protect those he loves? Or will he break the string and incite massive chaos–and even death?
In the great suspense tradition of Ted Dekker and Steven James, Caleb Breakey’s explosive debut novel will have you turning pages into the night.
Caleb Breakey is a former journalist and the author of Called to Stay and Dating Like Airplanes. He’s passionate about leading, challenging, and inspiring others to follow Jesus in super intentional ways-especially in how we do church, relationships, and careers.
